The statistics are staggering, and woefully out of date. One out of three African-American inmates in U.S. prisons convert to Islam while incarcerated.

This statistic is no longer limited to African-Americans in prison. The Huffington Post reported an estimated 35,000 – 40,000 inmates convert to Islam each year, and that 15 percent of the total U.S. prison population or 350,000 inmates are Muslim.

This is more than 18 times the national representation of Muslims in America,reportedto be 0.8 percent

JEDDAH — About 80 Saudi women were diagnosed with AIDS in 2014, Sanaa Filimban, AIDS program director in the Ministry of Health, has said. “It was a shock to many women. Most of them did not ever leave the Kingdom and 95 percent of the patients contracted the disease from their husbands through sex,” he said.The ministry participated in the International AIDS Day, celebrated every year on Dec. 1, by raising awareness of the disease through workshops and lectures.

Filimban said the ministry has set up 48 centers for AIDs checkups and consultancy in the Kingdom. Out of them, 36 will be stationary and 12 mobile,( powered by camel or 4x4 All Wheeler !) he said.

She added there are 21,761 AIDs patients in the Kingdom.

“Of them 6,334 are Saudis and 15,427 non-Saudis. In 2014, the program recorded 1,222 new patients. Of them 364 are Saudi men, ( how many of them are "Saudi Princes" !) 80 Saudi women and 778 non-Saudi women,” said Filimban. Statistical analysis then concludes that the employer becomes "horny" ( outside the marriage ) with the outside help imported from Sri-Lanka, Philippines, Thailand etc and spreads the virus , and also refuses to acknowledge that he has the disease

There is one Saudi woman with AIDs for every four Saudi men with AIDs. Saudi patients aged 15 to 49 constitute 81 percent of the total number,” said Filimban.

Meanwhile, Prof. Tawfiq Bin Ahmed Khoja, director general of the Executive Board of GCC Health Ministers, said the rate of HIV cases among GCC citizens ranges between 0.15 and 1.95 for every 100,000 people. “This is the lowest rate in the Arab region,” he pointed out.Khoja said the number of HIV cases among GCC citizens increased in recent years as a result of unhealthy lifestyle (euphemism for gay sex ?) followed by some groups of people and lack of knowledge about the dangerous impact of the disease.

“Increasing foreign travel, important social transformations in major cities, rising use of drugs through injection and presence of a large number of expatriates from different countries are other reasons for the growing HIV cases in the GCC,” he added.Khoja said health ministries in the member countries have taken a series of measures to contain the contagious disease, including stoppage of blood import, increasing public awareness through the spread of moral and religious values (like in Pakiland, Malsi is the answer for "everything" ) and explaining methods to protect against the virus. “We also provide HIV-positive patients mental and social care,” Khoja said.

PS: Are the "Religious Police and / or the Islamic Brigade in Saudia, aware of the widespread prevalence of this "Western" disease

Two Sufi Mohammadden sect clerics who had travelled from India to the Mohammadden Terrorist fomenting Islamic Republic disappear. Suspicion is that the two Sufi Mohammadden Clerics have been picked up by the Intelligence Arm of the Uniformed Jihadi’s of the Islamic Republic of pakistan’s Army, the Inter Services Intelligence Directorate aka ISID aka ISI.

Is it halal for an Islamic Republic like Pakistan to detain Mohammadden Clerics from Non-Mohammadden countries?

Organisation of Islamic Co-operation must demand own member Pakistan stop molesting Ulema.:

India has asked the Pakistan government to return two senior Indian clerics who have been missing from Lahore since Wednesday. Asif Nizami and his brother Nazim Nizami, senior clerics from Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya dargah in New Delhi were travelling in Pakistan on a religious tour, but are believed to have gone missing from Lahore.

The Indian high commissioner in Islamabad has lodged a strong complaint with the foreign ministry in Islamabad on Thursday evening. But sources here suspect the ISI, Pakistan's all-pervasive deep state, may have "picked them up" for reasons that are still unclear. The abduction of the Sufi clerics will be taken very seriously by India, sources said.

I don't think these Sufis were raa then why would ISI goatnap them? If isi did goatnap them then releasing them will be more damaging then goatnaping as 90% of porkies identify themselves as sufis. It could be some other non-state-backed-by-state actors.

Four Mohammadden Terrorists on trial in the UK of which at least 2 have links to the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

“Naweed Ali, 29, and Khobaib Hussain, 25, both of Sparkhill in Birmingham” had been earlier arrested as part of Operation Pitsford in 2013 (See BBC : Operation Pitsford: The 11 men) and had been sentenced to 40 months imprisonment for attending Mohammadden Terrorism training camp in mother ship of terrorism, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Given that the BBC Operation Pitsford article says “The families immediately organised their return to the UK, with the help of relatives in Pakistan.” there is sound reason to believe that Naweed Ali and Khobaib Hussain trace their origin / descent as well back to Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The British Justice system will be well advised to hand down a very stiff sentence this time around given the recidivist track record of Naweed Ali and Khobaib Hussain:

Riyadh: A Saudi Islamic leader with more than two million Twitter followers has been banned from using the social media platform by a court which convicted him of jeopardising public order.Awad Al Qarni, previously accused of links to the banned Muslim Brotherhood, was also fined 100,000 riyals ($27,000, Dh97,886), the Okaz newspaper reported on its website late on Thursday.It did not name the “famous preacher” but Al Qarni himself confirmed the verdict on his @awadalqarni Twitter account late on Thursday.

“I am prevented from writing” on the account, he wrote, before issuing a Twitter message early on Friday thanking his followers.Al Qarni was “one of the key clerics of the Sahwa movement,” British scholar Toby Matthieson has written.

The Sahwa emerged in Saudi Arabia in the 1960s and 70s, its founders being exiled members of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to another expert, Stephane Lacroix.Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE have all declared the Muslim Brotherhood to be a “terrorist group”.Okaz said Riyadh’s Specialised Criminal Court, which handles “terrorism” cases, convicted the preacher on Thursday of spreading content on Twitter which “could jeopardise public order and provoke public opinion”.

he court held that the content put out by Al Qarni “could affect the relationship of the people with the leadership, and the relationship of Saudi Arabia with other countries”.There were no further details but Okaz said Al Qarni was tried without having been arrested.“We have appealed the case,” Al Qarni said on Twitter.

Lacroix, of Sciences Po university in Paris, told AFP in December that changes effected late last year to the kingdom’s highest religious authority confirmed an “anti-Sahwa, anti-Muslim Brotherhood” trend.In 2010, Al Qarni was charged in absentia by an Egyptian court with funding the Muslim Brotherhood.

Using the Mohammadden belief based slogan of Allah Hu Akbar while carrying out violent attacks seems to be becoming quite commonplace and geographically widespread.

An outspoken atheist who posted anti-religion opinion and rationalist views on Facebook was hacked to death in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore on Thursday night. H Farooq (31), an iron scrap dealer, regularly criticised religion on social media and his posts against Islam had infuriated many recently.

Man killed at Paris airport planned to 'die for Allah': prosecutor

By Gus Trompiz and Emmanuel Jarry | PARIS

A man shot dead by French soldiers at Paris Orly airport on Saturday shouted he was there to "die for Allah" and tried to seize a soldier's assault rifle, apparently intending to open fire on passengers, a prosecutor said. …………………….

The attacker, named as Ziyed Ben Belgacem, arrived at Orly airport on Saturday morning, threw down a bag containing a can of petrol and seized hold of a woman air force member who was part of a military patrol at the airport, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said.

Using the servicewoman as a shield, he put his air pistol to her head and shouted at other soldiers with her: "Put down your guns. Put your hands on your head. I am here to die for Allah. In any case, there will be deaths."

The other soldiers then shot and killed Belgacem.

Molins said the assailant, who tried to grab the woman's Famas assault rifle, seemed bent on carrying out a serious attack. …………………

On his body, police found a Koran and 750 euros in cash. At his home, they found several grams of cocaine, a machete and some foreign currency, Molins said. …………............

Belgacem, 39, was already on the authorities' radar. They spotted him as a radicalized Muslim when he served a prison term several years ago for drug-trafficking.

Several hours earlier, Belgacem shot and wounded a police officer with his air pistol after a routine traffic stop north of Paris before fleeing, officials said. …………………..

The incident came to light when the complainant, Nathu Lal, rushed to the barn to check on the health of the calf who was wailing in pain. "When Lal went to the barn, he found his neighbour Muhammad Iqbal performing an unnatural act with the calf," police said.

Saudi Arabia's billionaire king is on a lavish Asian adventure — here's what he's spending his money on

Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz al Saud, who has an estimated net worth of over $17 billion (£13.8 billion), is not one for subtlety.

He's currently on a lavish tour of Asia, and has arrived in every country on his itinerary — most recently China — on a golden escalator from his personal plane. Showoff !

He also isn't travelling alone — when he landed in Indonesia, he was joined by an entourage of 620 staff and a further 800 delegates.( AKA "hangers-on"

In 2015, he and his 1,000-person entourage caused the closure of a French Riviera beach for three days. Salman's group poured concrete on the beach to install an elevator directly on the sand. ( Meanwhile the ban on churches, temples and other places of worship still holds in the "Land Of The Two Holy Mosques"

Scroll down to see the various extravagant things he's spent his money on while on his Asian adventure.

500 limousines

1,200 hotel rooms ( The Saudis are known to be chronic bill defaulters ; hope that the Hotel Management have arranged payment in advance plus damage deposit monies )

Two golden escalators Because one is never enough .

A Lockheed C-130 Hercules

100 bodyguards

Six Boeing passenger jets

459 tonnes of luggage

It's unclear what luxury items are included in King Salman's luggage — besides the escalators and limousines— but there's only so many Fabergé eggs you can fit in a suitcase.(i) How many in the so-called entourage are members of the female sex. Was V**gara and "Sharab" included in the "459 tonnes of luggage"

How is this relevant to Islamism, etc.? The advantages of vagueness are not there in the core Islamic texts. At best, the Quran might be elevated to the imprecision of poetry. The Hadith and Sirat - the says, deeds and life of the Prophet - cannot.

MEERUT: In a shocking incident, a man allegedly killed his teenaged daughter by slitting her throat and then threw her body in front of her lover's house in broad daylight, because he was opposed to their relationship. He then walked to the nearest police station, confessed his crime and surrendered to the personnel there, according to eyewitnesses.

British Parliament Terror Attack Underscores The Stupidity of British Media's ‘Asian’ Descriptions

Media reports from the British press in the aftermath of Wednesday’s truck and knife attack on Parliament, resulting in the death of at least three people and “catastrophic” injuries to more than a dozen more, have focused in on the identity of the perpetrator in vague terms. We know, according to The Telegraph (UK) that the attacker was described by witnesses as an “Asian guy in about his 40s carrying a knife about seven or eight inches long.” The Daily Star (UK) calls the suspect a “black or Asian man who was spotted running with an eight-inch knife.” The Daily Mirror (UK) called him “reportedly Asian in appearance.”

The picture above is of the actual suspect.In America, Asian has a different connotation than it does in the British press. It generally means people of Pakistani or Indian descent, not people from Southeast Asia, as it does in the United States. It’s also often a cover for Islamic background – the press will generally avoid talking about the religion of a suspect in favor of focusing in on ethnicity, and they’ll broaden out the ethnic label to include people who aren’t Pakistani in order to avoid the impression that the Pakistani perpetrator might be a Muslim.

In May 2012, the BBC reported that groups representing Sikhs and Hindus complained to themedia about the use of the term “Asian” to apply to nine Pakistani suspects arrested for grooming girls for sex; the Network of Sikh Organizations UK, The Hindu Forum of Britain, and The Sikh Media Monitoring Group UK accused the media of unwillingness to mention the “disproportionate representation of Muslims in such cases” and the non-Muslim identities of the victims, calling the “Asian” label “unfair to other communities of Asian responsibility, adding “We believe that in this case the government itself is sanctioning the use of the term Asian as a way of clouding responsibility.”

The same pattern held true in reporting of the Rotherham, where British authorities, fearful of supposed backlash, held back on investigations into a serious upsurge on rape and child sex slavery involving Muslim men – up to 1,400 children were involved. The police filed a report in 2010 openly mentioning “a problem with networks of Asian offenders both locally and nationally” and stated that the crimes were related to culture. From 1997 to 2013, the crimes were underpoliced and underreported.

This is how media and government turn individual criminal issues into actual tribal conflicts. By refusing to hold everyone to the same standard, refusing to acknowledge that not all cultures are equally compatible with Western standards of decency, and instead using ethnic descriptors rather than ideological ones, the media and authorities actually drive xenophobia rather than alleviating it, as well as sweeping up innocent people into the net. Sikhs and Hindus do not deserve to be placed in the same risk category as radical Muslims with regard to terrorism; attempting to protect moderate Muslims by ignoring all ideological leanings whatsoever is foolishness. And using the overbroad ethnic descriptor “Asian” – pretending that Indians and Pakistanis are part of the same ethnic group for purposes of avoiding ideological conclusion-jumping – is purposeful obfuscation of accuracy. Perhaps this terrorist isn’t Muslim. That’s perfectly possible. But it’s not fine to give the public misleading information on the grounds that they may jump to conclusions suggested by probabilistic thinking, and lump in innocents in the process.

Blog of Australian Newspaper “The Daily Telegraph” reports that there have been a staggering 30,499 attacks inspired by Mohammadden belief since 9/11. The Telegraph cites David Suissa writing in the Jewish Journal who in turn cites TheReligionOfPeace.com, for the data point on the number of attacks.

Going by the stunning figure of 30,499 attacks since 9/11 inspired by Mohammadden belief, it is beyond doubt that Mohammaddenism is not the belief of Peace as touted by Mohammadden political Leaders such as Pervez Musharraf, Asif Zardari, Nawaz Sharif, Recip Erdogan, Mahatir Mohammad, Salman bin Abdelaziz al Saud etc.:

An excerpt from The Jewish Journal Article followed by the weblink for the article:

I know that it’s painful to consider the stunning reality that 30,499 deadly attacks could be committed in the name of one religion. It challenges our narrative that all religions are pretty much the same, that there’s good and bad in all religions, and there’s no special reason to isolate one in particular.

The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in London says that the Westminster attacker was in the country three times and taught English there.A statement released late Friday says Khalid Masood taught English in Saudi Arabia from November 2005 to November 2006 and again from April 2008 to April 2009.The embassy says he had a work visa. It says he returned for six days in March 2015.The embassy says he wasn't tracked by Saudi security services and didn't have a criminal record there.

Before taking the name Masood, he was known as Adrian Elms. He was known for having a violent temper in England and had criminal convictions.Masood drove an SUV into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before fatally stabbing a policeman. He was shot dead.

Some unanswered questions: With such a "Pakjabi sounding" name, what is the Paki connection here ? Did the Saudis "encourage" him to convert , if he was keen to get a job in the "Land Of The Two Holy Mosques" . Did he "attend" some classes on Islamic History And Islamic Studies And Arabic , while in SA. Who were his "friends" there

Islamic TV channel airs hardcore POON in the middle of the day after falling for a 'satanic trick' in Senegal

An Islamic television channel shocked viewers with half an hour of hardcore ***** in the middle of the day after falling for A Senegalese Islamic channel shocked viewers with half an hour of hardcore ***** in the middle of the day, in what the TV station on Wednesday attributed to a 'criminal act' and a 'satanic trick designed to undermine a channel'.Privately run Touba TV generally broadcasts religious programs, including prayer sessions, sermons from prominent imams and in-depth theological discussions. Someone should start the internal investigation by ensuring that the tapes shown" by mistake "were NOT imported from Saudi Arabia

But viewers were horrified on Monday afternoon when its regular transmissions of the program Taxiru Juma were interrupted with a hardcore ***** movie from 1.10pm to 1.30pm.THe program Taxiru Juma were interrupted with a hardcore ***** movie from 1.10pm to 1.30pm (file photo)

n a statement, Touba TV denounced what it called 'a criminal act by people with a hidden agenda' and said the formal complaint will make it possible to identify the 'authors who have an unknown agenda'. The statement said: 'As a religious channel, the management of Touba TV and all our audience members are outraged and unreservedly condemn this criminal act which seems to be sabotage and a satanic trick designed to undermine a channel which is known to stand for Islamic values and teachings.' The Islamic Brigade in Senagal should not be "so outraged" as there is the "remote possibility" that due to a computer glitch, such a "disgusting movie " was inadvertently shown ; this happened the past year to the "world famous see ann ann " cable channel is the mighty USA , when a poon clip made its way to the screen

Djibril Nado, the director of the channel, told RFI that the network was 'disturbed' by the images. 'It's a sabotage because these are images that come from outside,' Nado said. 'We talk about a satanic approach because there are always hands behind it.' Touba TV has since filed a legal complaint in hopes of finding the people behind the broadcast. Interested readers would like to know that , as a result of this "sabotage", the station's rating went up or down

ISLAMABAD: Diplomats from Muslim nations decided on Friday to raise their voice at all international forums — including the UN — against online sacrilege against the Islamic faith on the internet.Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan hosted the ambassadors of Islamic countries at the Punjab House in Islamabad in an effort to work out a joint policy to counter online anti-Islam material. In Pakistan ," on -line hate " against Non-Sunni Muslims and other Non- Muslim communities is openly allowed !

It was also decided that a formal reference would be sent to the secretaries general of the Arab League and OIC, raising the issue of blasphemous content on social media and how such a trend has been hurting the sentiments of Muslims across the world.Pakistan will take the lead on this [/quote]

Addressing the ambassadors, the interior minister said: “Distortion of religious beliefs and sacrilege of holy personalities of any religion is intolerable,” adding, “No law permits showing disrespect or distortion of any religion.”

Nisar said sections of the Western world should shun double standards about Islam and Muslims. “On the one hand, they have laws against any kind of distortion or disrespect towards any religion, while on the other hand, the most revered personalities of Islam are being ridiculed.” Before talking about double standards, the Hon Minister should correct the situation in his own country vis- a -vis minorities , before preaching to other nations !

The Mohammadden prison problem is not restricted to over-representation of Mohammaddens in European prison inmate populations. It is also about Mohammadden Clerics being permitted access to Prison inmates in order to "preach hate":

Reposting article linked by me on page 54 of this thread regards the malign acivities of Mohammadden Clerics in UK prisons.

Given that the UK has been very lax in ensuring that Mohammadden Clerics are prevented from infecting prison inmates with yet more virulent excuses for committing violence, it is no surprise to learn that convert to Mohammaddenism, Khalid Masood formerly Adrian Russell Ajao and Adrian Elms, was infected by Mohammadden Terrorism while he was in prison:

After being freed in 2003 from his second time in jail he married Farzana Malik,( one red alert !) a Muslim woman following conversion.

It was his increasing interest in fundamentalist Islam which is said to have taken him to Saudi Arabia. ( second red alert !)The security agencies are, however, examining whether he met with extremists there and had maintained contact with them since.

"Pure lone wolf attacks are very rare; they are more the exception rather than the norm," he said.

Nikita Malik, senior researcher in the counter-radicalisation think-tank Quillam Foundation added: “I am almost certain he would not have been a lone wolf because the people who are inspired by extremist content are often receiving instructions on what to do. Westminster looks like a very similar format to what we’ve seen elsewhere in Europe.”

My brother, who lives abroad, surprised me with a text message this week saying that everyone is asking him about Birmingham. "Our great city's name has been spoiled," he typed. It wasn't just national press and television reporting about Birmingham, apparently, but the international media too.

I was born in Sparkbrook, the area highlighted in so many reports as a terrorist hotspot after the Westminster attack. The Daily Mail even called it "the jihadi capital of Britain". Soon after the horrific events in London, I realised that as a Brummie Muslim, I was now saddled with a double burden. It's hard when someone stereotypes your home and your religion like that — but I still consider my identity to be a double privilege.

I am proud that Sparkbrook survived soaring unemployment during Margaret Thatcher's years. In one of its areas, Balsall Heath, the violence of an infamous red light district was defeated by the local community. This city has a long tradition of surviving hardship: the Birmingham Blitz in the Second World War, damaging factory closures and disproportionately low funding from successive British governments. A few years ago, it was confirmed that London has multiple amounts spent on its infrastructure compared to the West Midlands, with only the North East receiving less. Apprenticeships for youngsters remain capital-centric despite Birmingham being the youngest city in Europe, with almost 45 per cent of its population under 25.

If we want to stop radicalisation, let's create apprenticeships and jobs, have a go at improving the quality of schools, and reinvigorate a struggling but diverse arts scene which offers people alternatives in expression. That means stopping the recently promised cuts to the city's creative arts and the drastic city-wide cuts in school funding.

Reporters have been floating around certain areas in the last few days, conducting vox pops with perplexed locals who have nothing sensational to say. These locals have never met an extremist or anyone who would contemplate extremist actions. I've seen journalists crowding outside a lovely family-run restaurant under a raided flat as though something new and terrifying could happen there any minute.

Instead of pointing the finger at a religion or race, we should be noting that these areas are some of the most deprived in Birmingham. It's housing and jobs and youth centres that these residents want to talk about, rather than extremist ideas. The areas are diverse, full of churches, mosques and gurdwaras. Radicalisation doesn't happen inside any of these: it happens online and off the grid.

Reporters should have stuck with The Guardian's one-liner choice from the recently aired Extremely British Muslims: "The only extreme thing around here is the size of the rats, bro."Yes indeed, Big Clapistani-Malsic Rats! If we want to report on these areas fairly, let's consider the impact of this Government's austerity agenda, and the poor management and distribution of funding by the city's current council.

These latest news developments about Birmingham are something of a non-issue. I didn't feel any different when walking around the city since the raids, reports and journalists have come pouring in, because they have nothing to do with me or my community. The real issue is that we might be allowing one heinous crime to ostracise a community already facing low levels of employment and attainment, and compounding that by allowing them to feel victimised.

Despite all the pressures facing Birmingham, this is a beautiful city: not a terrorist hotspot but a tourist hotspot to which Londoners are flocking. So, dear media, unless you genuinely care about it, then please leave my city alone. The secret to radicalisation cannot be found on our beloved streets.

- AIMPLB taking an ultimate position of blasphemy to openly invite terrorists to target BJP leaders - This is declaration of war guys!

- then why didn't the idiots allow Pakistan to stop 3xTallaq

- india must be prepared for a major internal war to rid itself of these snakes, thrice and for all (1947, 1971 were the opportunities that were squandared)

Explaining that triple talaq was mandated by the Holy Quran, AIMPLB in its written submission three days before the final hearing on the matter, said the holy book ordained that "once three pronouncements of talaq are made, the wife becomes unlawful or 'haram' to her former husband, unless the process of 'halala' takes place in its natural course". "The pronouncement of the third talaq and its irrevocability is explicitly given in Quran. In such circumstances, it is forbidden for the former husband to take the wife back in marriage again, unless she marries another person of her choice and such marriage comes to an end owing to death or by divorce... The objective is to enable a divorcee woman to remarry out of her own free will and choice," the AIMPLB said through advocate Ejaz Maqbool.

Hungary’s Refugees Now Being Rounded Up and Kept in Shipping Containers

Hungary was set to begin housing all of its refugees in border camps made of shipping containers Tuesday as a new law came into effect that officials said will help protect against terrorist attacks. Asylum seekers arriving in Hungary, as well as those already in the country, will be confined in 324 shipping container homes across two camps along the border with Serbia while their asylum applications are processed.
